I have been meaning to do this too. Mine is also showing as empty when it's still half full. Of course I did do a 2" tank lift so I'm sure that didn't help but it's never really been accurate. Did you just bend the float arm?
Yup, that's all that's needed, at least on a 2005 carbed bike.
Very interesting. On my 2012 FLSTC, the tank gauge is both difficult to read and inaccurate!
The display on my upgraded speedo+tach is quite accurate.
Could be that the fuel gauge built into the sppedo/tach uses a different (better?) way to read the resistance values sent t it by the fuel level sender. Unfortunately, that feature on my speedo/tach has never worked, and I think it's because Reaper is carbed.
Added chrome frame accents and gloss black swing arm pivot covers.
Nice, have them to on my FXSB, only a pity that I can't find something like this for the new Softail series, would have loved to have it for my Fat Boy FLFB.
Took advantage of some time while the ol' lady was on her girl's weekend and got the "new to me" Springer running right. Installed A. Ness Big Sucker and added the PCV tuner w/pretty decent map. Then added a brighter bulb, and got rid of the reflectors and "idiot tags."
May be lowering it an inch in the back next with addition of progressives, we'll see.
Handlebars this winter (10-12" apes) with turn signal relocation. Prolly add detach hardware for the sissy bar too.
Finally got around to relocating rear turn signals and adding saddlebags with quick disconnect mount, only plan on running them on extended trips! Viking Baldur Extra Large Hard painted Saddle Bags.
